Having found her name lending vocals to Bombay Bicycle Club and Clean Bandit, Rae Morris released her own album, Unguarded. This was the first single from the collection.
Speaking to The Sun, Rae Morris explained the background to the song. "I was in a bit of a situation where I needed everyone to know who I was and what I am trying to do here," she said. "It's a bit of a protest song against everything really and the pressure I was putting on myself."
